On Wednesday the 10th April Councillor Myra Whiteside the Mayor of Wigan and her Consort visited the station and met some of the people who had been responsible for the transformation of the gardens and surroundings. This photograph shows her with representative from Hindley High School who produced the beautiful artwork in the ticket hall and one of the 3rd Hindley Explorer Scouts who have worked so hard on the gardens over a long period of time and who without their help we could not have done as much as we have.

The other photograph shows the Mayor admiring the Windmill the latest addition to our gardens on the Wigan bound side.
